under obama, 70% of the debt and 80% of the injuries have occurred in afghanistan. does that sound like we are winning? guest: steve used the word "tribe." talking about, "i am not the senator from israel," the problem with this language is that it's just that those with a strong strategic review -- strategic view -- i just think that is wrong. sort of painting the other side as being on thoughtful about their relationship -- i think is wrong. when the iraq war was going poorly and senator hagel said the greatest threat united states faces is between the mountains of afghanistan and pakistan -- previously opposed the surge in afghanistan. these are issues the need to be addressed. where do we think afghanistan is going to go? why did he think at one point that afghanistan was such a strategic interest? senator hagel has made a lot of statements over the years about the middle east and central asia that i think have to be addressed. israel-u.s. relationships have to be put into context. i think the caller started them. but the fact is not simply that it is between th

and michelle obama talked about her daughter's bmi being too high. the problem is, the president at the beginning had a goal of keeping kids out of politics, that's a laudable goal and worthy goal. i think he's right about that. the problem is the president when his back was up against the wall issue after issue used references to his other children and as so many other politicians did, use children period and he did that today. the n.r.a. point is about it's a double standard. the obama daughters get protection, of course they get protection, that's not revealing any substantive information, but why shouldn't other families get the same type of protection for their children, not secret service people, but gun protection or self-defense. i think that's the point they were trying to make. >> any objection for the presidents and republicans and democrats have been used for photo opes and the children, and i've seen the president stand up with soldiers, injured soldiers. >> the children of injured soldiers i know bush has probably done that as well, but

their goal was not simply to be part of a chorus that simply wanted to talk about president obama not being american enough. but they really wanted him to step up, to deal with the challenges of inequality and injustice in our society. they're important voices. and i don't think we'll see them muted anytime soon. >> back to david rimnick, for a moment. you wrote "the bridge" that documented the president so closely. what change did you see him in these four years? >> he was not the leader of a movement. martin luther king was the leader of a movement. barack obama is a politician. and he encountered politics his first day in office. he encountered things unimaginable. you mentioned the security issue. we've now forgotten on the first day of office, on his inaugural day last time, he came out on stage under the threat of a possible al qaeda attack from somali insurgents. it is long forgotten. but inaugural day was proceeded by this. and then, he began in a near-depression, an economic depression. and he's faced some highly radicalized republican party. he's encountered politics. and ge
